Antagonistic activity against innate immunity determines virulence in mammalian bornaviruses [PDF]
Variegated squirrel bornavirus 1 (VSBV-1) is a lethal emerging disease that has been discovered in privately owned and zoo squirrels, but its pathogenicity as a zoonotic pathogen remains uncertain.

Memory Impairment Induced by Borna Disease Virus 1 Infection is Associated with Reduced H3K9 Acetylation [PDF]
Background/Aims: Borna disease virus 1 (BoDV-1) infection induces cognitive impairment in rodents. Emerging evidence has demonstrated that Chromatin remodeling through histone acetylation can regulate cognitive function.

First therapeutic drug monitoring of experimental favipiravir in Borna disease virus 1 (BoDV-1) encephalitis patients reveals significant gaps in antiviral treatment: a pilot investigation [PDF]
Background The Borna disease virus 1 (BoDV-1) causes a rare, but severe form of encephalitis in Germany, characterized by rapid progression, late diagnosis, and a high case fatality. Therapy is experimental and recommendations are lacking.

Structural and biophysical characterization of the Borna disease virus 1 phosphoprotein. [PDF]
Bornaviruses are RNA viruses with a mammalian, reptilian, and avian host range. The viruses infect neuronal cells and in rare cases cause a lethal encephalitis. The family Bornaviridae are part of the Mononegavirales order of viruses, which contain a nonsegmented viral genome.

The structure of the mammalian bornavirus polymerase complex [PDF]
Borna disease virus 1 (BoDV-1) is a non-segmented RNA virus with one of the smallest known RNA virus genomes. BoDV-1 replicates in the nucleus of infected cells using a virally encoded polymerase complex composed of the large protein and phosphoprotein ...

Evaluating the potential of anti-dsRNA antibodies as an alternative viral sensing tool in encephalitides of different species [PDF]
Although laboratory methods have advanced, the cause of many encephalitides is still unknown. Molecular methods like multiplex PCR and microarrays are considered to be often less sensitive than Next Generation Sequencing, whereas the latter is time ...

Mapping Bornavirus encephalitis-A comparative study of viral spread and immune response in human and animal dead-end hosts. [PDF]
Borna disease virus 1 (BoDV-1) has long been recognized as a cause of fatal encephalitis in animals and was only recently identified as a zoonotic pathogen causing a similar disease in humans.

Low prevalence of Borna disease virus 1 (BoDV-1) IgG antibodies in humans from areas endemic for animal Borna disease of Southern Germany. [PDF]
AbstractBorna disease virus-1 (BoDV-1) was recently discovered as cause of severe and often fatal encephalitis in humans. BoDV-1 is known to cause neurological disease in horses and sheep mainly in South and Central Germany. The virus is maintained in bicolored white-toothed shrews (Crocidura leucodon).

Genetic stability of the open reading frame 2 (ORF2) of borna disease virus 1 (BoDV-1) distributed in cattle in Hokkaido. [PDF]
Borna disease virus (BoDV) is a neurotropic virus that causes several infections in humans and neurological diseases in a wide range of animals worldwide. BoDV-1 has been molecularly and serologically detected in many domestic and wild animals in Japan; however, the genetic diversity of this virus and the origin of its infection are not fully ...
